Ukrainian drone attacks have struck multiple Wildberries warehouses and nearby energy and port facilities across Russia's Volga and southern regions over recent weeks, causing fires, evacuations and injuries. Russian authorities say they have intercepted hundreds of drones; Wildberries says some logistics centres have halted operations but denies assisting the military.
The UK has granted Ukraine access to declassified blueprints for British-made components used in the Scalp missile, the European-produced version of the Storm Shadow. Russia has warned of consequences and highlighted potential threats to UK bases in Europe as Kyiv deepens its defense production.
Ukraine and Russia remain locked in a volatile pattern as drone and air-defense clashes escalate across the region. Russia continues strikes on energy facilities and infrastructure, while Ukraine faces pressure from renewed assurances of dialogue toward a ceasefire. The situation is developing as both sides weigh next moves and Western responses.
